No, these are games that if they weren't going to be played in London, would be home games here in Jacksonville.
Yeah, actually we have a total of 10 games, including preseason.
And two of those 10 will be played in London.
Considering how well the team did in 2017 and 2018.
Well, it is going to impact it.
You can't lose a third of your inventory and expect to generate the same ticket revenue.
We're going to try, that's for sure.
I would expect that we would have a big change in this supply-demand dynamic.
I think it will be a pretty electric
experience for our fans.
It will be a smaller capacity, but it should be packed each and every game.
And hopefully, given that we give priority to Jaguar fans first, we have a strong schedule next year with teams that bring a lot of fans with them.
Hopefully, you know, our fans will take up most of those tickets before visiting fans have a chance to purchase them.
But the other part of this is, you know, we've known this all along.
This was one of the tradeoffs that we knew we had to make.
One aspect of this that's been incredibly uplifting to us is how supportive our partners and sponsors have been to work with us through this situation.
For example, maybe taking other benefits, keeping their investment the same, but then adding other benefits to offset for the lack of capacity.
The one thing to keep in mind with that, I don't want to belabor it, but this is an important point.
We made a conscious decision collectively, once we figured out it was possible, to pretty much do something that has very rarely if ever been done on this scale.
And that's produce a new stadium from an existing stadium.
